The Big Lebowski: White Russian

The Big Lebowski: White Russian

In the late '90s, The Big Lebowski, starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, and Steve Buscemi, became an instant cult classic. "The Dude," Jeff Bridges' character, was defined by his shaggy sweater, long locks, dark sunglasses, and strong preference for White Russians, a velvety cocktail typically made with a coffee liqueur, milk, and vodka. If he wasn't drinking one, he was carrying one, finishing one, or finding ways to make one in other peoples' houses. Sounds easy enough — try one at home! (Shades optional.)

The Blues Brothers: Orange Whip

The Blues Brothers: Orange Whip

"Three Orange Whips!" declares John Candy's character in the famous film The Blues Brothers, right before the major fund-raising scene.
